    Froch will knock Dirrell out because he's a winner who knocks people out - usually. It's all right looking fast and that, but if his corner doesn't have some anti-venom, The Cobra wins.

    Dirrell decision. Taylor showed he can be outboxed easily.

    I dunno if Dirrell has the chin to survive Froch

    but at the same time, can Dirrell keep Froch honest with his power?

    really looking forward to this one/

    dirrell is too slick and too quick.

    be interesting if froch is still there and strong after 8 or 9 rds.

    dirrell hasn't been tested late on before.

    but i see dirrell passing with flying colours and looking good against froch.

    big talent is dirrell. :bbb

    Froch will KO him. Andre Dirrell has never fought someone of Froch's class. The "Cobra" will knock him out 7th round.

    Dirrell looks really vulnerable, Froch walks him down.

    yep, thats the general consensus and what i see happening, the thing with fighters like Dirrell and Sergio Martinez is they try to fight a certain way they haven't got the relevent attributes for and it will bite them in the backside against the wrong opponent.

    Dirrell fights with his hands down, backs up against the ropes and tries to set traps to then bail himself out with speed and athleticism ala Roy Jones, the problem being that he doesn't have the freak speed and athleticism of a Roy Jones, so as it might be enough against the Hanshaws of this world, but eventually he's gonna run into a wall. Very few fighters can fight the way Dirrell attempts to at this highest level, you've be able to sit there and slip punches, be a phenom like Roy or Joe....they do things only they can get away with.

    Dirrell is not one of those phenoms, I see him getting cought with a Cobra right cross with his stationary head without those neccessary reflexes and its all she wrote.

    I said a few months back Froch will win late on and i'm sticking with it. Froch seems to be having a good camp for once....he might be fresh for this one and that's worrying considering he's won his last two with injuries that most fighters would pull out of fights with.

    Seeing as there is footage of Dirrell getting flopped by a right hand from a nobody, gassing against Oganov after hitting him with the kitchen sink in the first two rounds and being unable to shift him, and moving backwards in a straight line with his chin in the air, I think it's clear to see that A) he doesn't have a huge amount of pop B) he isn't the super evasive slickster some make him out to be.

    Froch will be strong for 12 rounds, Dirrell is decent but is no Floyd in terms of movement. I see Froch cutting him down in the middle rounds.

    i think if Dirrell does things right and trys to outbox Froch he can win, i'm going for Dirrell to do what Pascal couldn't and just win a decision

    People picking Dirrell seem to be placing a lot of faith in his 'potential'

    I'll stick with the guy who has actually delivered at this level before, thanks

    Froch is vastly under rated IMO
